Possibly(and I emphasize this word cuz there are many "possible" causes for
this)you can start by using the Internet Explorer Repair Tool.

If it's Win98, go from Start to Run, type in msinfo32 and at the top where
it says tools, left click and then click the first item listed, "Internet
Explorer Repair Tool" and take it from there.

I'd suggest running a program such as Spybot or Adaware to scan your
computer for spyware and adaware. Such Spyware as Coolwebsearch have been
known to cause errors in Internet Explorer.

If this doesnt work can you give more details of the error.

Hello:

If you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 then go to your
control panel and click Add Remove Programs. Highlight the Microsoft
Internet Explorer and click the remove button. A menu should appear
asking you if you want to remove, repair or something else I can't
remember. Click repair and take it from there. I hope this helps.

It should be noted that on Windows XP, this will only work if the user has
subsequently installed IE 6 SP1, since the built-in version of IE6 that
comes with XP will not have an entry in the add/remove list. The same goes
for IE6 SP1 when it is installed via the XP SP1 service pack, or as part of
Windows XP with SP1 integrated. No repair utility in that situation. There
is however, a way to reinstall IE in those situations. Microsoft has
provided the instructions in KB article 318378. Quoted below:

When you try to reinstall the same version of Internet Explorer, you may
receive the following error message:

Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on
this system.
Setup cannot continue.
To avoid this error message and reinstall the same version of Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express, follow these steps:
1.. While you are logged on as an administrator, click Start, and then
click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.. Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the IsInstalled
(REG_DWORD) value, and then click Modify.

To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows XP,
use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

4.. Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
5.. Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6.

_______________________________
I had this exact problem. I was only using Spybot Search and Destroy. I
downloaded a copy of AdAware and ran it, in addition to the SS&D. The IE
problem seems to have disappeared (for now, anyway.)

Dear: Rick

I have had the same problem on my computer, On my computer it was a resalt of
a Virus. It would be wise to do A system scan. If you don't have Anti-Virus
software installed, go the The Norton Anti-Virus site or Macfee.
